My smoking

My smoking has reached sinful measure, and I have to stop. It displeases God when I smoke, not that it is sin in itself to smoke. Somebody help. I have been in sin for two goddamned years, and it is killing me. I want to live again. In the Name of Jesus Christ, somebody help me!

I know that Jesus is the Minister of Reconciliation before God, but I believe he has just had it with me. Practically every thought is given to error. I don’t want to go to hell. Please! Somebody pray for me.

Two years ago I cursed God, and I can’t find righteousness again unless somebody prays for me. My strength is gone. It just isn’t the fact that I smoke; everything I do is under a curse, and for the love of Christ, I want out of it. In the Name of Jesus, somebody pray for me that I find the way again.

Do not curse God

To all who may read this blog,

Friends,

Do not curse God. The ramifications of doing so are horrendous. I personally did it, and I do regret it. I am able to do very little good in life ever since. I have the best of intentions, but I can never carry out that which I want to, for the most part. The thoughts of my heart seem to be unceasingly evil ever since that day, and much woe has come because of it. Do not curse God. You will only regret doing so. God bless you in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Another confession of sin to The Lord

Lord,

Many times have I cursed, even cursing God at times, and the Bible says to bless and do not curse.I have sinned against heaven and you, father, and have, save for you forgive me, stored up wrath for myself in heaven. Lord, I once even cursed heaven itself, saying “Curse heaven!” I was made jealsous by a man, Father, and I sinned in my anger. I thank you, Father, that Jesus bore the penalty for me in his body, and that his precious blood was shed on his holy cross. I thank you also, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that he became a curse for me before you, that though he was without sin, he became sin as a sin offering. I thank you, Lord, that in the sign of the cross I shall conquer. Help me to be a son of peace and to not be divisive, as well, Lord God, in the Name of the Crucified Christ of God, Jesus of Nazareth. Amen. Help me to be neither liar, nor thief, nor sexually immoral, nor practitioner of magic arts, nor idolatrous, all in Jesus’ name. Amen. Let me to know what must be.

Praise Jesus

Jesus,

I praise you, O Son of God, and give you honor. Bless you, O Son of Man. Lord Jesus, I cursed God, O High priest of the newer and better covenant than that which came through Moses, but I repent. I curse God no longer. It is not said, Lord, that to curse God is an eternal sin in the scripture. Some may believe that is, but I pray that you forgive their error. I thank you, Jesus, Lord of Heaven and earth, that scripture does not denote such a thing eternal sin. Please remove the curse of God from me. All that I do fails, and I have lost the love of my life because of it, Lord.  Jesus, merciful one, please pity me and grant me success in all that I do. This I pray in your Name. Amen. To be sure, Lord, do not count me guilty of an eternal sin. Amen. Lord, though I did not know it at the time, the devil had sown an evil word in my heart that contradicted scripture, and in my anger, I acted upon it, and sinned in cursing God. I sinned. I confess it freely. The evil word which the devil had sown into my heart was, “Curse God and live.” I struggled with it for years, because I knew it contradicted scripture, wherein Job’s wife said to him, “Curse God and die.” Please do not give me over to death and hell, Lord Jesus, but, rather intercede for me. I thank you, Jesus, that God is not willing any should perish, but that all should come to the knowledge of him through you. Please forgive me. I confess to you my sins, and it is written, O Jesus, “He who conceals his sin does not prosper, but he who confesses and renounces them finds mercy,” I say at the mercy seat of the Lord. Amen.

Please remove the wrath of God almighty from me, and reinstate me under the covenant of grace and truth. Bless you, Lord Jesus, O Son of God. Amen. May all who adhere to you succeed in all that they do.

An appeal to the LORD

O Lord,

O Holy one of Israel

I did curse you, and you caused all that I do to fail. Bless you anyway. Your Name is Praiseworthy, and I thank you, O God, that Jesus did say that every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men. Lord, it is a sin to curse God. Please forgive me this sin, and lift your curse from me. Cause me to fail no more. I repent of cursing you and of my curse. O King of Justice, be angry with me no more. Remember, O God, that though Moses said, “You shall not blaspheme God,” Jesus, Your Son, said, “Bless those who curse you,” and that you commanded Him to say all that he said. In light of these things Jesus said, please lift your curse and bless me once again, that I may succeed in all that I do, to your everlasting glory and the renown of your mercy.

In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

And yet another request

O God, I want to be a renaissance man. Amen.

Yet another prayer

God, I exalted myself. It was a long time ago. I’m sorry. Please forgive me and don’t humble me anymore in Jesus’ Name. Thanks and amen.

A hope and a prayer

God,

It is said that you are good. I believe that, even though I come to times of doubt. I have faith that you are good. God, I hope someone comes to you because of me, and that you, a Deity of great wrath, through Jesus Christ, will show that person all goodness. I know, O God, that you did not create Lucifer to do evil. That was even before you renamed him Satan, or the devil. You created Lucifer to do good, yet he sinned, as unthinkable as that is. He spoiled the perfect chance for perfect freedom in you and became the devil, despite all holiness and good. I believe, Lord God,  that you are good, but you get in evil moods, like when we get evil because things aren’t perfect. I’ll bet, Lord, when you are in a good mood, you have a sense of humor like no one else, and that there isn’t anyone who can top you with a joke. I’ll bet you live to get a laugh in a perfect world. Lord, I’m sorry things are the way they are, even because of me and my sins. I’ll try to do something about them. I know they’re a nice, unwarranted pain in the ass. I’m just at a loss, Lord. since you and I came to our troubles, I have been a dipshit like no other, and I have become stupid like no other man that I know of. It is disheartening as all hell, Lord, because I’m too good of a guy for this to be happening. If there’s anyway you’ll accept me in the Name of my father, Jesus Christ, I pray you will. Amen.

God, I know you’re good. If Jesus hadn’t appeared, it might not be so apparent. What he did in the Bible was Good. I’d like to beat my sword into a plowshare instead of my head against the wall. God, let’s make peace. Amen.

Your friend and grandson,

Jim

P.S. Please don’t accuse me anymore. Amen.

P.P.S. I also have some bills to pay, ranging in the tens of thousands of dollards, God. Could you help me pay them? I’m really worried about my name. Thanks.

A prayer to God

Lord, I thank you for all of my talents. They are what keeps me going in life, and I thank you, Father, that the gift of God, and likewise His call, are irrevocable. I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for nothing is impossible for you. I know this because Jesus said so, and I thank you, Lord God, for the good news of the Gospel, and that Jesus is raised from the dead.

Father, I bless you and praise you  that you are holy. Send forth a measure of the Holy Spirit to me in regards to the spirit of virtuosity in guitar playing and musical composition, in Jesus’ Name. I have always loved playing the guitar, Father, and I thank you for the guitar itself. It is among the finest of things a man can do, in my opinion, and I thank you for having created the guitar by your word. It could come from none other than you, Lord God. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I thank you. It is truly a gift from heaven.

I thank you also for my love for art. It has, like music, kept me hopeful and ambitious in life, and I pray for your glory to be magnified through my personal artworks in all excellence.

I thank you, Lord God, for Rock-n-Roll Music, too. It is filled with glory, passion and wonder, and power and might and strength: it is a fingerprint of God. I thank you also for Jazz/Rock Fusion Music, LORD, God Almighty. It is the finest electric music under heaven. Bless you. I thank you for the guitar and the enduring friendship and love affair that I have had with the guitar all of my life, O YHWH. I pray and hope that it never ever ends. Please reveal to me a new thing in the Scripture than I may teach men a new thing through the practice of the guitar. Let the guitar, LORD God, never pass away.

Father, I humbly exalt and praise you for all of the good you have done through the arts both before and since Jesus Christ first appeared. Without Jesus, there would be no such thing as Rock-n-Roll. And I thank you again for Rock-n-Roll in His Name.

I thank you, LORD God, for Little Richard, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. I thank you for Pat Metheny, Guthrie Govan, Shawn Lane,Steve Vai, Jaco Pastorius, Billy Sheehan,  Allan Holdsworth, Frank Zappa, The Beatles, Eric Johnson, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton,  Larry Carlton and Edward Van Halen. I even thank you for Ritchie Blackmore and Yngwie Malmsteen. Bless you, Lord God, through Jesus Christ, for all of these. In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Lord, I know that I am forty-four years old now, but I come to you in Jesus’ Name and do ask you for a music career. I love music, LORD God, and I desire to play music professionally in the world while I am still in the world. I want to do both sacred and secular music, Father, and I hope even to perform on the main stage at the Montreaux Jazz Festival someday as a jazz/rock fusion musician. Please get me there, and I promise I will do a Gospel medley of some sort, made up of traditional hymns in Jesus’ Name. With this in mind, Father, I ask you for a guitar, an amplifier and a pedal board. I pray that the guitar be a Carvin Holdsworth, the Amplifier be an Engnater, either combo or half stack, and that the pedal board be a tc electronic. All this I ask of you in Jesus’ Name. I thank you, Father, for having heard my prayer. Grant me all of this that you may gain glory through me. Amen.

A confession to the LORD of my sins

LORD, I come to you in Jesus’ Name, to confess sin.

LORD, approximately two and a half years ago, I purchased a satanic bible. I did it for the purpose of doing research for a novel I wanted to write, a theological novel on the order of William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist in terms of potency, a veritable horror story. Father God, I read from it the invocation of the Enochian Age, and I did it in the Name of Jesus. The reason I did it alound, Father, was because it is written in the Holy Scriptures, “According to the fruit of his lips is a man filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.” But ever since then, my life has fallen apart. I became hostile to God and His Christ, Our Lord Jesus, and I have been miserable. Your hand has been heavy upon me ever since, it seems, and I cannot get my life together. You even left me when I called myself a stump of a man. Please forgive me. Remember, Father, that it is written, “Expose the deeds of darkness,” in the writings of Saint Paul, and that was among my motives for wanting to write a novel.

Lord, please restore me to perfection and righteousness, and help me to abide in the truth in the Name of Jesus. I, O LORD, am a quiet man, by and large, and I prefer more creative pursuits. I’d like to write a novel, a theological horror story that is much like Mr. Blatty’s, The Exorcist, that men would repent and come to their senses and believe in your son, Jesus Christ. That was my reason in the first place. Please help me.
